Texas Republicans lob racist insults at Rep. Gene Wu as he leads Democrats' walkout
As Republican rhetoric heats up over Texas House Democrats' quorum-killing walkout, some high-profile state GOP figures have resorted to making racist remarks about state Rep. Gene Wu, who led the exodus. Among those engaging in the anti-Asian taunts are state Sen. Mayes Middleton, a Galveston Republican who also happens to be running for Texas attorney general. On Monday, the first day the Texas Legislature was unable to meet due the Dems' absence, Middleton fired off a tweet inquiring, "Is Gene Wu back in China?"
